What could be done about religious extremism, conflicts and violence in the world
I'll go with Mahatma Gandhi on this one, "Be the change you want to see in the world." And the Buddha, "Hatred was never conquered by hatred, but only by Love." And Jesus, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," and "Love your enemy."
Properly understood, every religion, and also most athiesm, agnosticism, and our scientific society, all want peace and well-being for all. At the same time, extremists exist in every tradition. Let us live and teach the way of peace. Anything else, any effort to force others not to be extremist, is, itself a cause of extremism. People become extreme when they are forced by violence and violation. And, if they are killed, then that tragedy turns their families and friends into our enemies. Only by peace will we end extremism and violet conflict.

I think it is evident when the Roe v Wade ruling is handed down that pro-choice activists will hit the streets to dish up their version of "peaceful pro-choice protests". You know where they proceed to damage private property, throw things at law enforcement officers, and break...

Just because it's funny doesn't mean it's not true. Of course, none of 'us' fit his description, but some 'other' folks sure do.As a side note, not all moderates smoke pipes. I only smoke one occasionally. ;-)GA
